A reader is selling every single issue of the old and popular Kuwaiti magazine Al-Arabi in the classified section of the blog. The seller has 369 issues in total starting with the very first issue from 1958 all the way up till July 1990, the last issue before the invasion.
The seller is asking KD700 for the whole lot which I’m not sure is a lot or too little since it’s difficult to put a price on something like this. Someone or some organization should pick them up, digitize them and then upload them online for everyone to view.

Update: A reader left a comment to let me know that Sakhr (yes THAT Sakhr) have 209 issues of Al Arabi magazine digitized and organized on their website! You can check them all out [Here]

whaaaaat? Sakhr have an active website AND they’ve got a digitized archive of vintage magazines? How random!
thanks!
I found a whole lot of them in an abandoned house, from the early 60’s up until the 80’s. I’m keeping the oldest ones but the 70’s and 80’s will be donated to Bait Al Othman in my children’s names. Most of them have never been opened and contain advertising slips, so cool.
that’s pretty cool! my father own’s pretty much most of them too (never counted them tho!)
I have the first edition first magazine for anyone who is interested
